New Roosevelt Fern 
New Roosevelt Fern 
The Greatest Fern of the Age 
In gen.ral characteristics it resembles the 
Boston Fern, but it produces many more 
fronds, making it a bushier and handsomer 
plant; then the pinnae are undulated, giving 
it a pronounced wavy effect seen in no other 
fern.

The Ostrich Plume Fern

adds greatly to its beauty.

paid. Larger plants 99c and $1,49 each, by

New Crested Fern 
I think this the most popular Fern. Rather 
dwarf in growth, but graceful, very compact, 
dense and feathery. Each frond or branch 
has a double row of perfect little fronds set 
at right angles to the mid rib. and so thick 
they seem almost crowded. It is a healthy, 
vigorous grower, constantly unfolding fresh 
fronds of light green that contrast exquisitely 
with the deep green of the older fronds. It 
is somewhat like Roosevelt, but decidedly 
more fluffy, more delicate and beautiful.

express, not prepaid.
